Read in context

Psalms 103:12–16 · Berean Standard Bible

12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.

13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.

14 For He knows our frame; He is mindful that we are dust.

15 As for man, his days are like grass— he blooms like a flower of the field;

16 when the wind passes over, it vanishes, and its place remembers it no more.
